These pages give us the Dokuwiki Markup source, relatively unmolested - maybe with a bit of errant html to strip. We then convert the original source to GitHub markdown. From there, we can front-end the content however we like, or import it to another wiki instance, or anything really. See the incomplete script "archive_crawler" to see my working.
